How To Block Webpage/ip Address Using Hosts File

[slim150]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I know how to block IP addresses and websites with things like zone alarm but i dont want to. i have a certain site that i want to block and i have its ip address, how can i block it so nothing gets sent to it. i think using the hosts file somehow

the easiest way to stop them is to stop browsing beastiality sites........

or buy norton and block it tht way!

uh no. mainly what my idea is when Dead Aim 4.1 comes out, i want to download it and a keygen, then block jdennis.net so it willnot keep reminding me about the serial

i already have norton corporate edition, but all it is is just a realtime virus protector/scanner, it does not have any options. i wanted to like edit this without downloading anything else

you would add a line like this:

127.0.0.1 jdennis.net

127.0.0.1 is the loopback address of your NIC, which means when something tries to resolve the domain name jdennis.net,
it will try to do it locally, which, of course, doesn't host jdennis.net....so the communication fails.

i added 127.0.0.1 jdennis.net to my hosts file, but it still let me access jdennis.net when i tried to go to it. Did i mess up? what can i do?

ne one?

make a copy of hosts file, then follow my 2 links above from scratch. when ur done, just add 127.0.0.1 or 0.0.0.0 (tab) and the site's name (confirm it's spelling first).

Note, u cannot mix 127.0.0.1 & 0.0.0.0 in HOSTS, EITHER OR, NOT BOTH.
